Somehow, Fujou managed to return to his temporary hideout. the first battle was less then pleasant - the spell was lost, and even worse - it was stolen, so it now worked for the enemy. He really needed to re-think the plan. But first:
Day 1, schedule Get up, recieve the report. Will fynalyze the rest, based on given information. If nothing substantual, explore the [phenomenon]
Use magic
Apparently, the enemy wasn't willing to give Ishida enough time to finish his business. So unrespectful. And Ishida was willing to repay the debt - the blonde, who appeared before him was pumping collossal amounts of energy into her spel, yet she seemingly forgot, that powerful spells are usually take hell of a time to cast. Emphasis on "usually". Ishida didn't resort to arias and charms, yet in a flash, bright saphire-colored radiance filled the room [spell]. And the same radiance for a second glippsed in Ishida's eyes, returning the peaceful, tranquil but no less unnerving glare to the man's enemy
"Something akin to a Servant, is it?" - Ishida sounded not surprised and confident, yet somewhat detached. Actually, he was. It surely wasn't wise to enter the Grail war without confidence in his abilities and the abilities of his servant. "Well, I guess it's good, that I made all preparations back there. Please [orders] and then we'll be ready to face our first foe"
Seemingly unhndered, Ishida and Archer moved to their destination. So far, ao good, everything was fine, and no-one even noticed their presense - at least, that's how the situation looked like. Still, the omious feeling, spread in the air was somewhat...disturbing. Ishida looked around [Perception check ], and just in case, adressed his servant:
sorry, guys, will be offline for at least a day
Well, since it's really hard to make Gil pull it out, I suspect, we'll see Ea only in the finals, where it wouldn't be dramatic to just let the players save/load
Err, guys, can you tell me one thing? What's the point of the save game stuff? For example, I prepare a plan, execute it, kill a target, and the then bang - load game, and the target is alive, knowing the attackers plan and his servant abilities, so the original plan is no more functional. This renders the attacker in the worse position then everyone else, because he gave up some information about himself, while getting nothing in return
The magus bows respectfully to the monk and drops his backpack in the room. After that, he got a calligraphy set out of it.
PM-ed the details
When Ishida heard the strange visitor's name, he raised his eyebrow in amazement. For entity of this rate to walk the Earth - the Grail Wars was truly something. He made a cough to recover and adrerssed the monk.
After Ishida finished his daily procedure, he breathed fully in a satisfied and refined way - it's always pleasant to fell renewed and purified. As they continue to walk the forest, Archer could notice, that the steps of her master became lighter and softer, and though his eye were half-closed, he chose his path without mistake. When they approached the desired location, the magus just stood there, listening to something, and after that noded his head, and said:
"I fail to understand one thing" - Ishida looked at the map with some kind of worry. "The Noble Phantasm of a servant is a copy issued by the Throne of Heroes along with the spiritual body. There is no way, your Noble Phantasm could appear from there without you. Could the actual relic be in Fuyuki?"
"I see" - Ishida stopped walking, when he heard of the five leylines. "Your knowledge exceeds that of modern magi. That is most fortunate" - he took a map out of his backpack - "Please, show me the leylines, including the one, you have secured. As for the collateral damage - I've got your point. There is something, we'll have to do, but I don't seek needless blood"
When the clearing the traces of the ritual was done, Ishida walked to the edge of the spot, where he left a fully stuffed tourist's backpack.
So, any chance of getting servant's charsheet?
Ishida smiled - "I don't know. I'm mostly here for the war itself, so right now I'me fine with fighting for your sake. But I'm sure, I'll have a wish when I'll hold the Grail in my hands. For such is the Tao" Then he looked at he summonning circle. "Now, I'll dismantle the circle to conseal the ritual, and then, I'll need an hour of uninterrupted meditation. I need you to stay on guard in the mean time" - saying that, he began to remove the components of the ritual - physically, without resorting to magic. Soon only the spirit gate will remain on the place of summoning - and tha could easily be mistaken for the part of an old shrine.
OOC: Guys, I did tell her my name. And, maybe some description? IC:
The rite of summoning was successful, and yet, Ishida had to face abberant tendencies from the very beginning - he could take his original battleplan and throw it into the shredder. Not only he summoned another Heroic Spirit from the one he was intended to summon, but he summoned it as Archer - along with all troubles, that its "Independent action" could bring. But even despite his idea weren't supported by the grim reality, he looked calm and concentrated on the present - after all, the Tao teaches to be fluent and keep up with the world as the leaf, that is swimming down the stream. So he looked at the spirit he summoned and displaced the long sleeve out of his left forearm to demonstrate the command seals.
